Jiří Vnouček studied conservation in Prague. In 1992/93 he was an intern with Christopher Clarkson at the West Dean College, England. In 2010 he received a Master’s degree in conservation in Copenhagen, Denmark. In 2019 he completed his PhD in interdisciplinary research, which was focused on the visual assessment of parchment in medieval manuscripts, at the University of York (Centre of Medieval Studies and the department of Archaeology) in England. Specializing in conservation of parchment manuscripts and bookbindings he participated in the EU project IDAP (Improved Damage Analyses of Parchment) and several other research projects in the field of the conservation of parchment manuscripts. His research includes experimental parchment-making and the production of manuscripts in which he gives workshops, lectures and publishes articles. Most recently he is participating in the EU research project Beast to Craft that is using biocodicology as a new approach to the study of parchment manuscripts.

Compiled around the turn of the eighth century, in the Wearmouth-Jarrow monastery in Northumbria, the Codex Amiatinus is the oldest complete Vulgate translation that remains extant in one volume. Today, this manuscript remains awe-inspiring, not only because of its size, but also because of the number of animal skins that were necessary for its production. The Codex Amiatinus is now located in the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana in Florence. It is the only one of the three codices, together known as Ceolfrid’s bibles, to survive. My research combines visual analyses of parchment with knowledge obtained from experimental parchment-making. While scholars have thus far ...
